Over the course of this 60 minute podcast, Al and I outline the turning points and pivotal factors in the Blackhawks playoff run, climaxing with Monday night’s clinching Game 6 victory in Boston. We also look at the toll some player’s endured in the battle for Lord Stanley’s chalice and how much is too much; compliance buyouts, offer sheets, what awaits Bryan Bickell, what’s next for Stan Bowman and Joel Quenneville’s team, who won’t be back and some names that could also be on the move.

–Special Thanks to Molson Canadian, the Official Imported Beer of the NHL..

The Chicago Blackhawks answered the Call of the Cup, have you?

If not, there’s still time to participate in Molson Canadian beer’s Call of the Cup.

For a limited time, Molson’s Call of the Cup bottle series will be available throughout the Chicagoland area as in markets across the United States.

Molson Canadian recognizes that every decision a coach makes in the Playoffs can mean the difference between skating to glory and skating into the off season.

When you pick up Molson Canadian bottles now in the U.S., you can participate in The Call of the Cup series, which allows hockey fans to play the role of the coach and make the tough calls from their smart phones, or just debate the questions and scenarios on the back of the bottle labels between friends.

Which special teams unit is more important in the playoffs? Make trades or stand pat at the trade deadline? Be a part and help a team win its first Stanley Cup or help a team break a long championship drought? Answer these questions and debate more scenarios in The Call of the Cup series from Molson Canadian beer.
